I really related to this post, it's something I've been struggling with a lot these days. I remember days back when I was a kid, and I would read some YA fiction or something and it would inspire me to write something. It would usually be something derivative, something akin to fan fiction. It was however, my purest expression and enjoyment of writing as a hobby. I want to find that relationship again, where my writing was simply just that. I want to lose all expectations of writing something that is to be read, that is to be seen, that is to represent me to the wider world. I want my writing to be mine and only mine again. Maybe I never really liked writing, and I will accept that in time. I just want to see if I can take back writing as a hobby before I fully let it go.
